Durrus Irish Reproductive Loan Fund Records:

For some areas, Irish Reproductive Loan Fund records are an important source of genealogical, social and economic information that has been little used in the past. After the famine of 1822, surplus charitable donations were made available to local loan societies in the counties that had been worst affected - Limerick, Cork, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon and Tipperary. In 1853, after the British Treasury had assumed responsibility for these funds, it was decided to call in outstanding loans. The local police constable submitted detailed returns, townland by townland, reporting on the debtors - who was still in the area, who had died, and who had emigrated. For the Durrus area many of the files are misdescribed as Ballymore. In Durrus the funds were managed by the rector Rev. Crosthwaite in conjunction with the Rev. Traill Schull and the Rev. Fisher, Toormore/Altar
